Vortex PC66 Barebone

The PC66 features a hot-swappable PCB, which means you can install most standard 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches without needing to solder. This allows you to easily customize your typing feel and sound profile.

The keyboard offers tri-mode connectivity, allowing you to switch between a wired USB-C connection, Bluetooth 5.1, or a 2.4GHz wireless dongle. Please note that for wireless operation, the keyboard requires two AAA batteries.

Yes, the PC66 is compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11, as well as macOS. You can use the Vortexgear GUI software to program your layout and key mappings regardless of your operating system.

The gasket mount structure, combined with internal silicone dampening, provides a softer, more cushioned typing experience compared to traditional tray-mount keyboards. This design also helps to refine the acoustics by reducing harsh vibrations and metallic ping.

No, the Vortex PC66 does not feature any backlighting. It is designed with a focus on a classic aesthetic and premium build quality rather than RGB lighting.

The PC66 uses a 65% compact layout with 68 keys in an ISO configuration. This layout retains essential navigation keys while saving significant desk space compared to a full-sized keyboard.
